TOPEKA, Kan., March 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The Family Initiative LLC (TFI), a leading child welfare agency, is now one of the largest agencies of its kind in the U.S. TFI is a private, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization devoted to assisting children and families through a full spectrum of child welfare services. Founded in 1965, TFI first started as a small rural day camp for youth outside of Emporia, Kansas. Currently, the organization provides programming across the U.S. focused on strengthening children and families and creating stronger, healthier communities. TFI’s programs include foster and kinship care, adoption, behavioral health, clinical and prevention services, residential, placement and case management services, administrative services, and child welfare software services in nine different states.

As of March 1, 2024, one of TFI’s affiliate programs, EMPOWER, will lead foster care placement and case management services in North Texas, making TFI one of the largest Community-Based Care (CBC) child welfare agencies in the U.S. EMPOWER was awarded the CBC contract from the State of Texas for the nine-county region of Metroplex East in North Texas with over 2,000 foster children in the Dallas metro area. The Metroplex East contract is one of the largest CBC awards in U.S. history. Overall, TFI holds four CBC foster care case management contracts, and two family preservation contracts in Kansas.

With a network of approximately 1,600 staff and over 600 foster parents, TFI has a broad reach serving children in need. In fiscal year 2023, TFI served 6,227 children in prevention, foster care, adoption and residential services. On March 1, EMPOWER will begin serving an additional 2,000 youth and families on any given day in North Texas.

“The network of organizations under the TFI Family of Companies umbrella are all committed to providing children with a nurturing, supportive environment and assistance needed, for children and for their families, to live a safe and healthy life,” says Michael Patrick, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of TFI. “All of our staff have an extremely important role in our communities, and they work relentlessly to improve the lives of the children and families we serve. We are honored to do the work we do and look forward to continuing to support children and families in a positive way.”

Through the CBC model, TFI and its affiliate organizations are able to provide personalized, committed care and services that reflect the local community and its needs by connecting with a smaller region of individuals and resources.

TFI is also a founding member of the newly formed National Center on Community-Based Child Welfare, a resource that will be available to other child welfare agencies. The purpose of this center is to bring community-based services to local communities across the United States. With a center of this type, TFI and other partner agencies will collaborate on best practices, promote advocacy, and share knowledge to sustain and grow CBC programs.

CHENGDU, China, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Eoptolink Technology Inc., Ltd. (SZSE: 300502), a leading innovator and provider of advanced optical transceiver solutions, announces the release of its OSFP 1.6T DR8/DR8-2 and 2xFR4 transceivers enabling the next generation high bandwidth networks for AI/ML clusters and cloud datacenters.

Eoptolink 1.6T OSFP transceivers have 8 electrical host interfacing lanes and 8 optical lanes operating at 212.5Gb/s (106GB with PAM4). Equipped with the industry’s latest DSP, these modules support transmission distances of up to 2km without the need to regenerate the FEC. The 1.6T DR8 and DR8-2 modules comes with either one MPO-16 adapter for point-to-point (P2P) connections or two MPO-12 adapters for 2x800G breakout applications. The 1.6T 2xFR4 modules are designed with a dual duplex LC connector running with 2 pairs of fibers only, which could help users to save fiber resources compared to DR8 and DR8-2 versions.

The 1.6T DR8/DR8-2 and 2FR4 Portfolio consists of: – 

EOLO-13T-5H-XMX    OSFP 1.6T DR8, 1×1.6TbE, 500m, MPO-16
EOLO-13T-5H-XDX    OSFP 1.6T DR8, 2x800GbE, 500m, Dual MPO-12
EOLO-13T-02-XMX    OSFP 1.6T DR8-2, 1×1.6TbE, 2km, MPO-16
EOLO-13T-02-XDX     OSFP 1.6T DR8-2, 2x800GbE, 2km, Dual MPO-12
EOLO-16T-02-XXX     OSFP 1.6T 2FR4, 2x800GbE, 2km, Dual Duplex LC

Eoptolink OSFP 1.6T transceivers feature both EML and SiPh-based solutions, and testing has demonstrated excellent performance. “We are very proud of our optical and RF design teams, says Sean Davies, VP Sales, Eoptolink Technology Inc., Ltd. “Our 1.6T OSFP modules do not need an additional FEC on the optical side and this results in lower latency and power consumption of the modules simplifying the complete system and helping our AI and cloud customers in their work.”

TULUFAN, China, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — On September 19, employees of State Grid Tulufan Electric Power Supply Company came to State Power Investment Zhongli Tenghui Qiquanhu Photovoltaic Power Station to provide comprehensive technical support and guidance for new energy enterprises.

Seven wind power and photovoltaic power generation enterprises, including Xinjiang Jize Power Generation Company in Tulufan, have obtained 6.035 million KWH of grid electricity by purchasing 6,035 “green certificates” to achieve “green electricity – green electricity” and achieve green energy use in the whole link of new energy power generation.

The green power certificate, referred to as “green certificate”, is the only certificate that identifies the production and consumption of renewable energy power. Promoting the all-green operation of new energy power generation is an important measure to promote the green consumption of renewable energy.

“Before, we were just ‘producers’ of green electricity. Now the buyers of green certificates have become green electricity consumers, and the production process is fully green.” Qiquan Lake photovoltaic power station inspection officer Forzati Dilishati said.

Since the launch of the green electricity and green certificate market, State Grid Tulufan Electric Power Supply Company has actively promoted green electricity trading, promoted the supply of green electricity and green certificates in multiple scenarios, promoted the rapid promotion and popularization of related services in Tulufan, and helped build a new power system.

In the first eight months of this year, the cumulative volume of green electricity transactions in Xinjiang reached 1.174 billion KWH, 93.83 times that of the whole year of 2022.
